"TFT
screens
have thousands of
pixels,
on a 1024x768
monitor,
there are three cells for each pixel - one each for red,
green, and blue - which amounts to nearly 2.4 million cells
(1024x768x 3 = 2,359,296). There's only a slim chance that
all of these will be perfect; more likely, some will be
stuck on (creating a "bright" defect) or off (resulting in a
"dark" defect). DPT was written to help me check my own
screens by cycling through the three primary colours used (red,green,blue)
and all on (white) and all off (black). Simply select a
colour then closely inspect your monitor in each of the
primary colours checking for pixels that are not operating
as expected. Stuck pixels (always on) are easier to noticed
then pixels that are not on due to their size (normally
under .5mm)."
